  • Patent number: 12025565
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an inspection system and method for inspecting an optical surface of a laser scanner, the system including a directional optical source and an optical detector. The method includes moving one of the laser scanner or the inspection system to a position in which a beam axis of the directional optical source extends across but does not intersect the optical surface, between the optical surface of and the optical detector. The method further includes emitting a light beam from the directional optical source, across the optical surface so that light from the light beam is incident on debris disposed on the optical surface. The method further includes collecting the light at the optical detector to form an image that indicates presence of the debris on the optical surface of the laser scanner; and generating feedback to alert a user of the presence of the debris.

  • Patent number: 12001518
    Abstract: A method for predicting matching degree between a resume and a post, and a related device are provided in this disclosure. In the method for predicting the matching degree between the resume and the post, and the related device according to this disclosure, firstly the semi-structured keys and values in post information and resume information and their source are obtained. Then, the matching degree between the resume information and the post information is predicted by a prediction model including a cascaded pre-trained language model, a Transformer encoder and a single label classification model, based on the keys and values of a respective post information and resume information attribute, and corresponding source representations. Thus, by comprehensively searching internal interaction and external interaction of semi-structured multivariate attributes in person-post matching, the matching result is more accurate.
